Trump’s executive orders on trans kids: The president is trying to make it illegal to help trans children.

Slate  

This week, Donald Trump signed a slew of executive orders designed to make it difficult for transgender people to participate in public life with safety and dignity. Two of them make good on the president’s promise to prioritize the targeting of transgender children, and together they attempt to dissolve the support structures that help trans kids thrive. This could include putting trans subject matter in lesson plans, having policies that ensure teachers use trans kids’ correct pronouns, or allowing them to use bathrooms aligned with their gender identities. But however the logistics shake out, the executive orders will have an immediate chilling effect on medical professionals and educators, who are now grappling with the knowledge that helping trans kids could lead to their own prosecution. The GOP’s vision for the country, which Trump is now carrying out, is one in which adults across the country who want to help the trans kids in their lives thrive will have to break the law to do so.
